Ran the demo a few months ago without issues; finally got the full game today and it won't get passed the splash screen.

Might be my old demo preferences folder conflicting with the full version, gonna remove and re-verify to see if it fixes it.

For those saying 5-10 minutes to load, that is absurd. Now, if it's generating every single shader in the game, then I could understand that slow speed, but otherwise that's like floppy drive loading time.

Seems obvious problem is with something they introduced down the line in a patch if you've got the demo working.

You're more likely to receive help, I think, if you head over to the official forums at forums.totalwar.com. They've got the professional supporters over there. If you've already scoured their forums for solutions I guess you're just out of luck.

If you don't want to invest further time into verifying all your various drivers are updated I would suggest trying lowering gfx settings and possibly downgrading directx mode and just live with slightly less bells and whistles but a more stable game.

I had a similar problem with my new 8120 and certain Steamworks games. It's been fixed via BIOS updates on newer boards but as you already checked, there are no newer updates for the one you have (think its the same as mine). Either way, this seems to have fixed the issues.

I have League of Legends and Guild Wars at the moment; Both running at the highest settings at around 50-60 FPS.
